The City Council voted Thursday to pick up the increased cost of trash and recycling services for both businesses and homeowners for the coming year, but members were confounded by a new commercial recycling fee and put off further discussion for a month.

The council voted 5-0 to OK the rate increases proposed by Burrtec, which were based on annual inflation and increased landfill fees. The change amounts to a 19 cent per month increase for single-family homes with a 96-gallon container, and 14 cents a month for master-billed individual accounts, which includes many homes within HOAs.
